    Are people who thoroughbreed considered racist?

    Thoroughbred generally refers exclusively to a specific breed of horse bred by using selective traits. It can also be similar to purebreeds for the purpose of selective breeding.

    Normally this means not mixing varieties of breed and keeping the gene pool "pure".

    Is it possible to consider this as a racist action?

    Thoughts?

    Racism is really only applicable to human beings.

    No more than people that culture plants for specific attributes are racist, I suppose.

    Because the notion of race shouldn't apply to us to begin with.

    Not enough to prevent them from being slaughtered for delicious beef, for instance.

    because the majority of animals cant tell the difference.

    a black dog doesnt go up to a dalmation and say "YOU WHITE DAFUQ"

    race shouldnt apply to humans either (btw im not saying humans arent animals because everything thats alive is either an animal or plant) but it does, cuz people is scerd of teh thangs thats is differnts frum uses O-O

    Seems kind of racist that you assume the black dog talks like a black guy.

    If you weren't speaking english I'd call you a racist for applying the word to humans, honestly.
    I've said this before and I'll say it again, implying that the difference between a black man and a white man is comparable to the one between a yorkshire terrier and a rotweiler is utterly disgusting.

    Some years ago, a friend of mine from Sweden told me about some drama about an ice cream because it was offensive to the african community. An icecream...

    No, breeding animals isn't even possible to consider racism by anyone with a shred of sense.

    You’re racist for implying all black people talk that way in order to say he was racist .

    Maybe it was a Kunta Kinte ice cream bar that said "my name is toby" everytime you licked it?

    Why do you assume the person you quoted was trying to imitate a black guy? (accidental racism in the person quoting for the win!)

    Is this trying to be an early contender for Stupidest Thread of the Year? The concept is absolutely ridiculous.

    I haven't actually heard about that, but sadly, I'm not surprised at all.
